TikTok offers the possibility to open direct messages to everyone

The TikTok social network has become a real success at all levels. Many governments are beginning to understand this app as a potential source of partisan advantage and that is why many want to start controlling what content and how it is distributed on the network. However, TikTok goes the other way and continues to expand more and more with better usability-enhancing features

of the application to try to attract more users. In fact, just announced that they are enabling the ability to open inboxes being able to receive messages from any user of the social network, one more step to extend a social network beyond videos.

Now any TikTok user can direct message you (if you want)

According to The Information, now users they can decide whether or not to open their inbox

to be able to receive direct messages from any user of the social network. The function we are talking about is not new. It was activated in a small number of users last November and Today, the activation of the function at the global level is official.

This move goes against what TikTok was until now since you could only send direct messages to users you had as friends. and this movement it’s nothing more than a TikTok approach to everyday social media to try and get users to start using the app for more than just sharing videos.
